Now available in DVD format, this product represents Robert Acland's
painstaking efforts to bring human anatomy to life by teaching it in real-time
using fresh tissues. The conversion from video to DVD provides features
including searchable video images and a main menu, table of contents, index, and
a glossary of anatomical terms. The advantages of these new features include
greater accessibility and ease of navigation, improved speed and efficiency, and
high-resolution images. Disc 1 will focus on the upper extremity, Disc 2 on the
lower extremity, Disc 3 on the trunk, Discs 4 and 5 on the head and neck, and
Disc 6 on the internal organs.
The six DVDs in this remarkable and beautifully
produced video anatomy atlas explore the fundamental structures of the
Musculoskeletal System, the Head and Neck, and the Internal Organs.
Disk 1: The Upper Extremity
Disk 2: The Lower Extremity
Disk 3: The Trunk
Disk 4 and 5: The Head and Neck
Disk 6: The Internal Organs
The DVDs show you true images of real, exquisitely dissected human
anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As the camera moves from one
viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate in space, letting the
viewer experience it as a three dimensional object. Acland's Video Atlas
uses fresh, unembalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, mobility--and
beauty--of the living human body.
A concise synchronized narration runs throughout the video. As each new
structure is shown, its name appears on the screen. There is a self-testing
feature at the end of each section. A visible time signal shows where you are in
the program. The reference booklet gives you both an alphabetic and a
chronologic index, with time locations for each structure.
For students, Acland's Video Atlas is a time-saving aid to first-time
learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for clinical rotations, and a
time-efficient tool for review at test time. For clinicians in training and in
practice it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge. For teachers
Acland's Video Atlas shortens the time needed to provide immediate,
satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.
